RP vs Teebo vs NI / IG88 vs STH

Prev1
Hello All,

I am again seeking advice from those with more experience than I. I am coming to a point where my GW and Arena farms will be 7* and I need to move on to new characters. So far, I've farmed Sid, Savage, Lumi, and Phasma.

I like GW, I don't care much for arena. But, wouldn't mind picking up some firepower for arena either. RP looks awesome, but Teebo is fun to use and I hear Initiate gets pretty good as she gears up. On the arena farm side, I hear 88 is very powerful but his health is meh. Storm trooper Han looks fun to tinker with, but might have the same issue.

Any suggestions from anyone that has farmed all or most of these?

    RP hits hard, she is worth it. NI is okay. I have faced her a few times and she is not much threat. 88 is my first kill. He never gets a move but if he does, he hurts even more than RP. RP though, once she gets going she can get a few extra attacks. Han needs the right supporting cast. No experience with Teebo at all.

    I was kinda leaning towards RP. But I just think the RNG with Teebo could be fun, especially if he is leader. It wouldn't work for arena, but it's fun in the tank challenges and possibly GW. RP is probably more usable overall, smarter choice to go with it seems.

    Yea, there is such mixed feedback on Han and 88 on the forum that I'm not sure where to go there :s. Was kinda leaning towards Han, but feel like I might get him and then never use him.

    I've been using RP for awhile now, but I really don't think she is worth it. I wish I had gone for TR earlier because he does similar damage, and has much higher health.

    From what I've heard on the forums, 88 can kill your entire team. I wouldn't know though. I used him as an ally before I ever faced him, and knew that I could never let him move from then on... And I haven't yet.

    RP and NI can fit in any team and do good. ig88 needs the right team to be the monster that he can be. STH is not worth it as poe and RG are just better. no idea about teebo.

    RP is a poor mans FOTP and a homeless mans Rey. But she hits hard.

    She works best in an assist based squad as her base attack is powerful and she gains turn meter half the time she is called getting her to about 140 speed equivalent. (Still after Poe). So 1/4 times QG or GS will call RP 1 shot the toon then have RP go early where you do her special and gain foresight or expose.

    Little squishy on defends and tough to gear.

    Also lets you cheat in GW. I don't do this regularly because it's to time consuming but occasionally on a real bad node you find out where QGs assist comes from retreat, then put RP in that spot guaranteeing that the assist comes from RP killing your target.

    If you have a GS as well you can put the GS in the QG spot and RP in the GS spot to take max advantage of turn meter gains. Seems like cheating to me so I don't do it until I'm reLly frustrated.

    I would go for Teebo, get him to 4*, gear him a little, lvl 50+ he is doing great in the Tank challenge. Since I have him I can auto it 100%.

    After that I'd go for RP with GW shipments.

    ST Han in Arena for lack of a better option. You can never have too many tanks for GW. Droids in this meta are basically out so don't bother with 88 if you're on a mature server. I have the whole gang at 7* maxed and I get stomped.

    GW has better options: if you're on a droid-heavy server, Dathcha would be excellent. I use both Poggle and Res Pilot in GW and Arena regularly and they're both great. Pilot is a great counter to Dooku - she can take most of his health with her special and then dodge his counter with her foresight.

    My experience so far:
    Teebo: great for INT-Challenge, fun (but Risky) for GW Main-Team, very useful as switch-in-char in GW, if you need his Turnmeter-Remove and/or his Buff-Remove on an (single) opponent.
    Nightsisters Initiate: is like a Tank without Taunt nor Turnmeter manipulation. Good as switch-in-char in GW, but useless in Arena.
    Left by design.
    The fixed payout times are the worst part of this game and makes it absolutely family-unfriendly.

    Teebo is fun but you need to be aware the random stealth can get you into as much trouble as it gets you out of. Also teebo hits like a wet blanket - very low damage but he's still fun to use. I use him in GW suicide squad and tank challenge and LS if I want a laugh
    NI - good for GW - cut down does bug damage but basic attack lacking. One of the highest healthy in the game but no utility. Best if you plan on running a NS team or I use her with Ahsoka lead (jedi +NS)
    RP - just got her and she's gonna be awesome I reckon running with Han &/or Phasma

    I haven't really used 88

    She can inflict buff immunity.How is that "no utility"?

    I use Han for at least 4 months now, and I won't recommend him. His taunt comes way too late, because he lacks speed. And his 11k Health is down in a second. I can not wait to have Poe ...

    Ya, but it almost never happens ... and the skill has a higher cool down.

    Exactly that - great when it procs but it's not on her basic and is highly unreliable - it's not exactly the first reason you look at using her

    I use Resistance Pilot in both my GW A team and arena, and have to say she's a shining star. GW,when she assists QGJ lead, it's a one shot on just about any damage dealer or healer. My arena team is a Count Dooku lead built around evasion, and with a single dodge (or Yoda boost), RP can one shot most characters by herself. I've yet to fail a GW,and regularly finish top 20 in arena.

    This is a massive exhaggeration. RP hits 3.5k without critical and 6k with. Are you fighting a team of level 30 Darth mauls?

    If you're going to quote me, use the whole pertinent quote. I said after a Dodge with Dooku as leader. And yes, when RP gets offense up after a Dodge, she one shots most attackers.

    Once again, unless the entire team your facing has under 9k health, I don't see how it's possible. RP is at best, decent. She's too slow to make any difference.

    88 is great... I actually use him has a leader often (one of the very few) because he crits up the entire team. However he need to be protected on the team. My strategy is to team him with a bunch of other toons most people try to kill off first... GS, 86, Daka, Lumi. Can't kill them all in the first turn... am I right?? eh? OK, a few teams have come really close lol. I actually need a better tank to slip in there and I think I'll be better off. But most teams go for Daka first or maybe one of the other big guns, so my 88 usually gets a turn off. Then if Lumi gets her heal in, I'm usually set.

    Teebo is fun but I don't have him leveled up high enough to seriously give a solid opinion on arena. However I recently faced a maxed out Ewok team with a Teebo lead and it was complete chaos. I didn't know what hit me. So teamed up properly, he could be lethal.

    That's fine, keep believing it. I'll keep using her and keep mowing down QGJ teams with her. On an evasion team she shines and deals damage with the best of them. After turn 1, her TM gain kicks in and her speed is very competitive,and because of the evasion boosts she nearly always survives turn 1 intact. But if people aren't convinced, that's fine too, since I'll happily continue to use her.

    That being said, I may stop using her once my Rey hits 6 or 7 stars. The Yoda/Rey synergy is probably too good to ignore. But she's at 4 stars and is still a long way off.

    I'm not speaking out of my you know what, I have RP myself and use her in PvP.
    If you're going to build a foresight team, might as well go all the way with a Dooku lead. I've wanted to try out a Yoda/Rey/RP team myself, but I'm missing two of the 3.

    Special abilities/ unique seem to favor RP more than TR. Also, according to SWGOH Cantina, damage seems to be higher for RP. Care to elaborate why you think TR is better. Just started farming RP cos got tired of hoarding, might change to TR. Spare toons for later on...

    Currently my team is 5*Dooku lead (yoda event shut down my farming until today), 7*RP, 7* Yoda, 6* Sidious, 7* Luminara.

    Rey and Ahsoka are both being worked on as replacements for Sidious and either Luminara or RP. Going to play around with lineups once they're closer to being usable.

    Skip to 1:40.
    Not only is TR much tankier and faster, but his non-crit damage dealt from his second ability is a little higher than RP's second ability (granted he has armour pierce, so subtract 200), plus he gets the assist.
    I also have a thing for Tuskens, I've been farming URoRRuR'R'R before I even started farming Rey.
